VirtualFly took the stage at FlightSimExpo 2026 to unveil a range of new products aimed at both flight simulation enthusiasts and professional training organizations. The Spanish manufacturer used the event to introduce the new Yoko Force Neo force feedback yoke, showcase its next-generation VF Force Hub software, present new modular cockpit components, and highlight its growing portfolio of FAA-approved training devices.
The announcement marked one of the company’s most significant product updates in recent years as VirtualFly celebrates its 15th anniversary.
Yoko Force Neo Officially Revealed
The centerpiece of the presentation was the new Yoko Force Neo, a force feedback yoke designed to replicate the physical forces experienced during real-world flight operations.
According to VirtualFly, the unit delivers up to 165 N of linear force in pitch and 8.5 Nm of rotational torque in roll, providing realistic control loading throughout different phases of flight.
Additional specifications presented during FSExpo include:
- 165 N maximum linear force (pitch)
- 8.5 Nm maximum rotational torque (roll)
- 180° roll travel
- 150 mm pitch travel
- AP Disconnect button
- Pitch Trim controls
- Yaw Trim controls
- CWS (Control Wheel Steering) switch
- Active force feedback technology
VirtualFly emphasized that the yoke is designed to provide authentic control feel for both general aviation and professional training applications.
Active Dual-Linkage Technology
Another major announcement was Active Dual-Linkage, described by VirtualFly as a digital mechanical bond between two force feedback yokes.
The system allows both pilot and copilot controls to interact realistically, reproducing the behaviour found in real aircraft where inputs from one side are reflected on the other. This technology is intended for professional training environments and multi-crew simulation setups.
VirtualFly demonstrated how the system can improve realism during instructor-led training sessions and advanced flight scenarios.
Introducing VF Force Hub
To accompany the new hardware, VirtualFly also introduced VF Force Hub, a dedicated software platform developed to manage force feedback effects and device configuration.
The software provides:
- Force feedback profile management
- Effect customization
- Aircraft-specific tuning
- Real-time adjustments
- Centralized device management
VF Force Hub is expected to become the core software ecosystem for VirtualFly’s future force feedback products.
New Modular Cockpit Solutions
The company also showcased several additions to its modular cockpit ecosystem.
New products displayed during the presentation included:
- Switcho EFIS Panel
- Switcho G1000 Panel
- Additional avionics modules
- Expanded cockpit integration options
These modules are designed to work alongside VirtualFly’s existing simulator platforms and training devices, allowing users to build highly customized cockpit environments.
Professional Training Devices Continue to Expand
VirtualFly highlighted its growing range of FAA-approved training solutions, including:
- Solo Pro AATD
- Solo Pro G1
- Solo Pro D4
- Duo Pro AATD
- Duo Pro G1
- Duo Pro Caravan
- Solo Pro Seminole
The company noted that several of these systems are already being used by flight schools, universities, and professional training centers around the world.
Among the products featured during the presentation were the Duo Pro Caravan and Solo Pro Seminole, both designed to provide realistic training environments for pilots progressing through advanced certification programs.
Celebrating 15 Years of VirtualFly
FSExpo 2026 also served as an opportunity for VirtualFly to celebrate its fifteenth anniversary.
Since its founding, the company has become one of the leading manufacturers of professional-grade flight simulation hardware, supplying products to both home simulator enthusiasts and certified aviation training organizations.
The unveiling of the Yoko Force Neo, Active Dual-Linkage technology, VF Force Hub software, and new cockpit modules demonstrates VirtualFly’s continued focus on bridging the gap between consumer simulation and professional pilot training.
As FlightSimExpo 2026 continues, VirtualFly’s announcements position the company for an ambitious new chapter focused on force feedback technology and advanced training solutions.
